  1. The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um, sure there is. It's called LAW. Breaking into a car would fall under that category. I'd be ticked to high heaven if my car was broken into and I later learned that a coworker watched and did...

  6. Night shift in LTC/Skilled Nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kRN0512's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We do LOTS of charting on NOC's in my facility. The weekly summaries are split equally as are all of the Med A charting. We also get everything ready as far as paperwork for any out-patient...

  7. Caring for Obese Patients

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vdodili's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Obligated to follow treatment? Not sure. SHOULD he be provided with the special, costly diet that he refuses to follow? Not sure about that either. I'm QUITE certain though that there are plenty...

  8. Need expert advice on how to pass 39 patients' medication in a 2-hour time frame.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to OneMurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, but is "quality of care" being compromised because 0800 meds aren't getting to some residents until 0915? That'll be the arguement, trust me. And then you'll be told to prioritize the residents...

  9. Need expert advice on how to pass 39 patients' medication in a 2-hour time frame.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to OneMurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We've got a nurse here who LOVES to do that. Accu-checks being changed from QID to BID? 0600 and 2000. Omeprozole qd? That'll be given at HS thankyouverymuch. She is a preceptor and will train...

  10. I was written up and put back on orientation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Kalicokats's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It sounds like you didn't have an order to give anything orally if patient was NPO. I'd say you were in the wrong,

  11. Caring for Obese Patients

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vdodili's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My level of care does not change based on the size of a client. BUT, my empathy level does when an obese resident in my facility does NOTHING to help himself. Non-compliant with medications,...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Gotcha!! That makes sense

  14. Posting Licensed Number in social media

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nomad29's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yikes, that's a little more information than I'd be comfortable with! Our state lists our name, any previous names you held a license under, year you were first licensed, year of expiration and city...

  15. Posting Licensed Number in social media

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nomad29's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why would you WANT to post your number on a social media

  16. is this a Hipaa Violation?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Between "HIPAA" and "is this a violation?", if I had the proverbial dollar.... for what it's worth for anyone, if you even THINK it could be a violation, JUST DON'T DO

  19. The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My mom told the story (unfortunately) of the woman in the bed next to her post delivery after my sister was born (40+ years ago, so they were truly maternity wards, multiple beds/patients). She and...

  20. Difficult resident and charged nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're using two totally different examples. Housekeeping is DOING something while wearing gloves. Cleaning, etc. Tending to a skin tear in the hallway is FAR different than walking between...

  21. Difficult resident and charged nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It doesn't matter. The POINT is, gloves worn in a hallway are PERCEIVED to be dirty ones. Just stop doing it

  22. Difficult resident and charged nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It doesn't have to make sense to you. Your BOSS has asked you not to wear gloves in the hallway. You don't have to understand it in order to stop doing

  23. Difficult resident and charged nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What do you mean "resident is supposed to be in bed by 10"? Residents have bedtimes? Also, NEVER make it a habit to wear gloves in the hallway, clean or dirty. If they're really clean ones you are...

  24. cna + drug testing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Jashawn2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you mean: tell your "friend" to quit doing drugs. Throw in really big air finger quotes while you say

  25. cna + drug testing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Jashawn2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, what did you just say? Seriously. The text speak and grammar were so atrocious, I truly cannot tell what you're
